Is Buddhism's attitude towards accepted forms of knowledge sceptical? Are Pyrrhonian scepticism
and classical Buddhist scholasticism related in their respective applications and expressions
of doubt? In what way and to what degree is Critical Buddhism an offshoot of modern scepticism?
Questions such as these as well as related issues are explored in the present collection which
brings together examinations of systematic doubt in the traditions of Buddhism from a variety
of perspectives. What results from the perceptive observations and profound analytical insights
of the seven essays is a rich and multi-faceted picture of two families of philosophical
systems-scepticism and Buddhism-that seem both akin and at odds both related and distant at
the same time.
